The company tells Platformer it will let experts opt out of the controversial feature — but how different is it than what every other AI company is doing?

Grammarly turned me into an AI editor against my will and I hate it

This stuff with Grammarly making AI "experts" out of people without clear permission is exactly why so many normal users don't trust the AI rollout. If your product is good, ask first. Don't scrape someone's voice, face, byline, or years of work and then act shocked when they object after launch. The whole tech script now is build it, bury the setting, apologize later. And yeah, they're adding opt-out because they got caught, not because they suddenly found a conscience. I like AI when it helps me do a job faster. I don't like this weird fake-consent economy where companies treat your identity like a free raw material unless you hire a lawyer or go viral. That's not innovation. That's corner-cutting with nicer branding.
